    --targetGroupProtocolTypeCode <TCP|UDP|PROXY_TCP|HTTP|HTTPS> \
    --healthCheckProtocolTypeCode <TCP|HTTP|HTTPS> \
    [--targetGroupName <target-group-name>] \
    [--targetTypeCode <VSVR>] \
    [--targetGroupPort <target-group-port>] \
    [--targetGroupDescription <target-group-description>] \
    [--healthCheckPort <health-check-port>] \
    [--healthCheckUrlPath <health-check-url-path>] \
    [--healthCheckHttpMethodTypeCode <HEAD|GET>] \
    [--healthCheckCycle <health-check-cycle>] \
    [--healthCheckUpThreshold <health-check-up-threshold>] \
    [--healthCheckDownThreshold <health-check-down-threshold>] \
    [--targetNoList <target-no-list>] \
    [--regionCode <KR|SGN|JPN>] \
    [--output <json|xml>]

Options

This section describes the options available when running createTargetGroup.

Required options

The following options are required for createTargetGroup.

Options	Type	Required	Description
`--vpcNo`	String	Required	VPC number See getVpcList.
`--targetGroupProtocolTypeCode`	String	Required	Target group protocol type `TCP` \| `UDP` \| `PROXY_TCP` \| `HTTP` \| `HTTPS` Available load balancer types are limited based on the protocol used. - Network Load Balancer: `TCP` \| `UDP` - Network Proxy Load Balancer: `PROXY_TCP` - Application Load Balancer: `HTTP` \| `HTTPS`
`--healthCheckProtocolTypeCode`	String	Required	Protocol used by the load balancer when performing health checks to verify the status of targets `HTTP` \| `HTTPS` \| `TCP` Available values are limited based on the protocol type of the target group. `TCP`, `UDP`, `PROXY_TCP` protocols: `TCP`. `HTTP`, `HTTPS` protocols: `HTTP`, `HTTPS`.
`--healthCheckHttpMethodTypeCode`	String	Conditional	HTTP method type to use when performing health checks `HEAD` \| `GET` Required if the target group's health check protocol type is `HTTP` or `HTTPS`

Optional options

These are the optional options for createTargetGroup. Options that are not specified will use their default values.

Options	Type	Required	Description
`--targetGroupName`	String	Optional	Target group name Enter 3 to 30 characters using English letters, numbers, and the special character `-`. The string must start with an English letter and end with an English letter or number. If not entered, NAVER Cloud Platform will assign one automatically.
`--targetTypeCode`	String	Optional	Target type to be added to the target group `VSVR`: Server (VPC)
`--targetGroupPort`	Integer	Optional	Port used by the target group `1`-`65534` (default: `80`)
`--targetGroupDescription`	String	Optional	Description of the target group (byte) 0-1000
`--healthCheckPort`	Integer	Optional	Port used by the load balancer to perform health checks on the target `1`-`65534` (default: `80`)
`--healthCheckUrlPath`	String	Optional	URL path to use for health checks URL path starting with `/` Default: `/` Can only be set if the target group's health check protocol type is `HTTP` or `HTTPS`.
`--healthCheckCycle`	Integer	Optional	Health check interval (second) `5`-`300` (default: `30`)
`--healthCheckUpThreshold`	Integer	Optional	Number of consecutive successful health checks required to determine that the target is in a normal state `2`-`10` (default: `2`)
`--healthCheckDownThreshold`	Integer	Optional	Number of consecutive health check failures required to determine that the target status is abnormal `2`-`10` (default: `2`)
`--targetNoList`	List	Optional	List of targets to bind to the target group You can enter multiple items separated by spaces (e.g., `--targetNoList 34567890 34567891`). See getServerInstanceList.

Common options

    --targetGroupName lb-test-tg \
    --targetGroupPort 80 \
    --targetGroupDescription "Test target group" \
    --healthCheckHttpMethodTypeCode GET \
    --regionCode KR \
    --output json
